This will be a very good year for the biggest terminal in Polish Stettin - Bulk Cargo Port Szczecin. After three quarters, cargo turnover exceeded 3.5 million tonnes in comparison to 3 million tonnes year before.
This over 10 percent growth in handling will increase to 20 percent at the end of the year. Terminal plans to achieve cargo turnover of 4,8 mln tons this year, 0,9 mln ton higher than year before.
Third quarter results in individual commodity group:
Coal – same result as in 2017
Coke - 55 % growth
Ores – 14 % growth
Other dry cargoes – 7 % growth
Grain - same result as in 2017
General cargo – 50 % growth
Terminal achieved good results thanks to the diversification of cargo, investments and effective use of quays.
It is worth adding that in the first three quarters of this year, very large increases were recorded on virtually all Bulk Cargo quays.
Bulk Cargo-Port Szczecin Sp. z o.o. is the largest and most versatile reloading and storage company in the port of Szczecin.
